Well, Jedi Fallen Order is bugged out for me. Whenever I try and fly to the second or third planet, there's an audio glitch and I get stuck in a black room with a health bar and some VFX...can't do anything.

Quitting to menu and reloading, I have to play through 5 minutes to get to the same point, then sit through 5 minutes of unskippable dialogue....then it bugs out again.

It's an OK game but I'm not starting the damn thing again to end up stuck in this bug loop :/

Anyone else with this issue btw, found a solution on the EA forums.

IF you're stuck going to a black screen with a health bar when flying to Kasshyk for the first time....

Fly to a different planet instead
Save at a meditation circle
Close the game (quit)
Relaunch, manually reload your save (don't continue)

Sorted it for me.
 
Still running into issues adding Microsoft Complete via online chat. They're saying it is still not available to purchase but that he's going to try and add it anyway but there's no guarantee it will work. It's all very confusing.

My setup goes xbox > Onkyo 676 AVR > LG C7

Using the supplied cable between xbox and AVR

I've never used headphones so I'm not sure if it does it through those

The popping sort of noise tends to happen at the start of the sound or at the end, it seems really strange. I had the normal One X in exactly the same setup before and it never happened

That's weird. Could you try isolating it with just Xbox to TV using the supplied cable and then a different one and see if it persists? That way you can narrow it down.

Yes, think there is a 10% discount code for new customers. Works out to be the cheapest place and they often come back into stock.

I think there is an app for android and iOS that could help you.

There is, but strangely you can’t use it to update the firmware.

Had to drag myself off the X last night. Was playing AC, was about to go to bed, but quick resumed into Gears 5. Quick resume is brilliant when it works, wish it did with AC.

Well, despite all the messages saying it might not work, it has worked. I've now got "Extended Service Plan" showing under my Xbox Series X, running until 11/05/2023. Which isn't three years, so I am querying that now.

It’s annoying that when I set my output resolution to 1440p120 but enable 4k60 the games that support 120hz (CoD, R6, MCC) default to 4k60.

Since some muppet at Microsoft decided that this should be defined at the system level, you can’t use the game settings to choose 120fps if they support 4K output.

I guess I’ll just always run 1440p120 as at normal viewing distances the human eye can’t resolve the difference between the two resolutions, but it’s still a pain.

I was told on my call its microsoft store customers only, period, never told it was something they planning to add, which is why I rang amazon.

how did you get the chat to work, you have a step by step? I posted a screenshot earlier showing their support site says chat is not available for warranty queries.

Does anyone get audio popping / crackling or like a intermittent static noise mainly when navigating the dashboard?, although I sometimes get it in games occasionally too.

It doesn't seem to matter what audio settings i try it does it on all of them

I get that too.

Wonder if its worth bypassing the AVR to see if its some weird issue with that?

Never tends to happen in game.
